BlackBerry’s comeback phone arrives courtesy of Chinese company TCL, which is tasked with reviving the struggling brand.
Say hello to the latest in a long line of purported BlackBerry comeback phones.
Chinese phone maker TCL on Saturday pulled the curtain back on the KeyOne, previously known by its codename, «Mercury. » The company showed off an early version of the KeyOne at CES 2017 , but it dived into all the details of the device today.
The KeyOne is the latest attempt to make the once-vaunted BlackBerry brand relevant again. BlackBerry has struggled with dwindling market share for years, essentially hitting 0 percent by the end of last year, as companies like Apple and Samsung extend their dominance over phones.
BlackBerry licensed the rights to produce phones with its brand to TCL, which has promised to give it a stronger and more consistent push.
